“A concluding chapter explores, in reverse order, the implications of three distinctions drawn in the book: between the experiencing and the remembering selves, between the conception of agents in classical economics and in behavioral economics (which borrows from psychology), and between the automatic System 1 and the effortful System 2.” p.14, Thinking, Fast and Slow—Daniel Kahneman
The investigation’s exploratory thoughts are unintelligible to the normalized instinct that concepts opportunistically signify existence. It defies civilization’s junkie dualism. It escapes the intoxicated kaleiscopic jumble of frames farcically shifting across the dualistic consciousness-existence spectrum. The truth is that the concept “consciousness” cannot refer to existential entity. This means that no part of the universe or the whole universe is consciousness-as-observer. The universe is consciousness as sense data. The notion of explicit qualia is literally nonsense. The question is whether even the notion of a unity quale is coherent.
Qualia differ from person to person which would suggest that consciousness is extrapolated differently to each self. This debunks Chopra’s supernatural claims of one consciousness of which we humans stem.—Naj
Tacit knowledge is to explicit knowledge as potential energy is to energy. Explicit and tacit knowledge realize only in mutual synthesis, where tacit knowledge is by definition implicit or undefined. Similarly, consciousness and potential consciousness realize completely in mutual synthesis, with potential consciousness definable only as unity, or explicity undefined and indefinable.
On this evidence, the thought that existence is indefinable, and that symbolic knowing is incoherent with “existence” taken as the normalized reality—in coherent symbolic knowing, “potential consciousness” replaces “existence” as the normalized reality. Potential consciousness somehow under girds the narrative with no more explicit wisdom or enlightenment than potential energy under girding energy. Only experience-based training mentors tacit knowledge. Potential consciousness is the indefinable unity bedrock of explicit narrative consciousness.
Well rounded feelings, emotions, and sensations are as much sense data as hard percepts and concepts. They do not signify existence or consciousness potential in any way but unity.
Wisdom constructed on material existence or consciousness as existence is bullshit. This stands in the context of the junkie incoherence of presuming to know variation of material existence or consciousness-as-existence, as implied by the previous paragraph. It does not mean that coherent consciousness excludes these potentiality concepts as unity labels. Potentials are indefinable abstracts. Consciousness is simply NOT about how or why patterns form. It is about which patterns are coherent. Presuming to know fundamentals of how and why expert tacit knowledge exists, is incoherent dualism and pathological existential fundamentalism. Instead, the coherent matter of the coherence of patterns is that it cuts across levels of conceptual calculus as movement and change. Coherent consciousness (by definition explicit) does not begin to resolve unity existence or unity potential consciousness, never mind the individual existence of volitional selves or gods.
re. Blog post, Nomenon.
The new word ‘nomenon’ is rejection of the topographical space of ‘noumena’ as the doublespeak by which phony existence invokes. ‘Nomenon’ stands in the place of ‘phenomenon’, contracting reality to consciousness narrative sense data.
Any part of the current incoherent narrative gains sacredly durable existential status as more than consciousness, while it is no such thing. This applies most obviously to the physical but it is also how God and other non-physical abstraction are easily attributed the most sacred existential status in desperately opportunistic validation of the increasingly tenuous existential status of the physical, especially, and most acutely, the existence of volitional personal self-identity.
Note well the idea of existence or potential consciousness as self-labeling. Via the usual delusional homuncular invocation of existence and discreteness miraculously outside, above and beyond consciousness, it seems like valid personification or doing itself, so it must be self-organizing, as if shifting responsibility to some dynamic Invisible Cosmic Directive (Creation or Kharma), often indicative of God and in validation of personal self-identity. The only coherence is that narrative and narrator are invariably the same. There is no agent other than narrative implicit in the very stuff of everything. However the personification is the error. There is by definition no narrator other than literally “the labels” of narrative, and labels are not narrators, but narrative! It is in that unmitigated monistic sense that it is coherent to state that nomena narrate. Invocation of agency and evocation of gods as if somehow standing apart from narrative are the same psychotic dualism.

A chief practice of technological development is the codification of tacit knowledge into explicit programmed operations so that processes previously requiring skilled employees can be automated for greater efficiency and consistency at lower cost. Such codification involves mechanically replicating the performance of persons who possess relevant tacit knowledge; in doing so, however, the ability of the skilled practitioner to innovate and adapt to unforeseen circumstances based on the tacit “feel” of the situation is often lost. The technical remedy is to attempt to substitute brute-force methods capitalizing on the computing power of a system, such as those that enable a supercomputer programmed to “play” chess against a grandmaster whose tacit knowledge of the game is broad and deep.
The conflicts demonstrated in the previous two paragraphs are reflected in Ikujiro Nonaka’s model of organizational knowledge creation, in which he proposes that tacit knowledge can be converted to explicit knowledge. In that model tacit knowledge is presented variously as uncodifiable (“tacit aspects of knowledge are those that cannot be codified”) and codifiable (“transforming tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge is known as codification”). This ambiguity is common in the knowledge management literature.
Nonaka’s view may be contrasted with Polanyi’s original view of “tacit knowing.” Polanyi believed that while declarative knowledge may be needed for acquiring skills, it is unnecessary for using those skills once the novice becomes an expert. And indeed, it does seem to be the case that, as Polanyi argued, when we acquire a skill we acquire a corresponding understanding that defies articulation.
This is the idiocy of civilization. It is why “a good sense of humor” is so pathetic. It covers up infinite stupidity. It facilitates brute-force gluttonous spectacle in junkie-psychotic shorthand of established narrative. The stone dumb practice of explicit reorganization of subliminal potentials in derivation of ever newer, bigger sensation is the atrocity.
re. above quote, “And indeed, it does seem to be the case that, as Polanyi argued, when we acquire a skill we acquire a corresponding understanding that defies articulation.”
Habitual articulation of skills eventually replacing them, stage after stage of so-called maturity and enlightenment, is the narrative bullshit.
